Countable's Fall Bill Acronym Bracket
Vote to see how others feel about this issue
In honor of Congress hitting the campaign trail and politicians’ penchant for the pithy bill acronyms that have grown in popularity since the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, we’ve put together another tournament in which you — Countable users — will choose the best bill acronym of the 115th Congress.
Countable’s selection committee has chosen 16 of the most creatively, and in some cases spitefully, titled pieces of legislation this Congress has introduced. This round’s winners will compete in next week’s Elite 8, so vote for your favorite through Wednesday at midnight PT.
May the best bill acronym win!
